Welcome — I’m glad you’re here!

I am a licensed professional counselor with over a decade of experience specializing in nature-informed therapy and helping individuals transform grief into growth. I believe every person is inherently precious and worthy of deep care. I would consider it a privilege to walk alongside you, offering support and perspective in the internal and external challenges that lead you to pursue therapy at this time.

I have experience working in multiple settings with individual clients on anxiety, mood disorders, relationship difficulties, women's issues, and general mental health issues. I have a Master's degree in Rehabilitation and Mental health counseling. I am at the highest level of state licensure in Florida, Tennessee, New Jersey, and South Carolina.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Tennessee. I am also licensed in the states of UT and NE. I have been in practice for 15 years. I love working with clients who are genuinely seeking therapy for their own growth and awareness. I enjoy helping clients who want to take a deeper look at behaviors and relationships in their lives that could be modified and or improved. I started my career in community mental health working with individuals who were suffering from addiction, childhood trauma, family conflict, and faith crisis. I feel like I have learned the true impact addiction, poverty, trauma, and abuse can have on an individual and family system. This has helped me create space for clients to feel safe, heard, valued, and respected in our sessions. I look forward to meeting you!
